Tales from the Mark Side: The Conservative Voice in Manatee County
Canadian truckers setting the example, eh
By Mark Young
Oh boy, you know you’ve crossed a line when you’ve upset Canadians to the point of protest.
Our friendly neighbors to the north aren’t exactly known for getting riled up. The ongoing Canadian trucker protest against COVID mandates is about the strongest statement that has been made through this ridiculous attack on individual freedoms just based on the fact that it’s Canadians making the statement.
The Freedom Convoy, made up of thousands of truckers and tens of thousands of Canadians rallying behind them, sent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family into temporary hiding at a “secret location.”
That’s hysterical.
It goes to show you how rare it is Canadians get upset about anything. Though Trudeau is Canada’s version of Joe Biden in so many ways, he wouldn’t last a minute in America where we clearly get angry over the littlest of things.
If Trudeau had to handle American violence, he would end up in a straight jacket, sniveling in the corner of a padded room and crying for his mommy.
It’s nice to see Canadians standing up for their freedoms. Besides a couple of attempts to conquer Canada during the Revolutionary War and again in the War of 1812 – sorry aboot that eh – Canada has been a reliable military ally for a long time.
Their military is fairly well trained and those few Canadians with a gumption for inflicting violence upon others who joined their armed services are solid fighters.
Those other few Canadians who acted a fool at one of Canada’s war memorials where some were seen dancing on Canada’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier should be ashamed of themselves. If I was at Arlington at a pro-freedom rally and saw some idiots dancing on our Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, there would be a butt whooping in their short-term future.
However, much like the Jan. 6 incident at our capitol, a few bad apples out of an overwhelming majority is not an excuse to change the narrative from reality into fantasy.
Trudeau, of course, used that example to condemn the entire Freedom Convoy movement. He’s learned a lot from American politics where you admit nothing, deny everything and make counter accusations to hide the truth.
An American Freedom Convoy is now in the works and I look forward to seeing freedom loving Americans get behind our truckers in our continued efforts to tell our own government to take their mandates and stick them where the sun don’t shine.
COVID has exposed how quickly and ruthlessly liberal leadership can be in enacting unconstitutional actions against its own people. And more than two years later after we know all we are ever going to know about this virus, liberal leadership continue their attempts to smash our freedoms.
As always, thankfully we watch most of it unfold from free Florida. It’s amazing to watch some of these liberal states continue their mandates. Elections have consequences on so many levels, but the sad fact is that liberals will continue to elect liberals.
They are the sheep who need their herders to tell them what to do in every aspect of life, rather than live like individuals with the God-given right to liberty.
These are the same people who would capitulate in a New York minute to a foreign invader. They would capitulate and collaborate with an enemy and willingly enslave themselves to a foreign government because that’s really how they want to live their lives.
They call themselves Americans because they were lucky enough to be born here, but they aren’t really Americans.
Liberal strategies to control the masses simply won’t work. We gave you an inch and you took a mile. Now with the help of thousands of big rigs, we’ll take another opportunity to take back those miles you stole.
We’ll do it peacefully and creatively, but when it comes to this continued effort to steal our freedoms, don’t push your luck.
